Farmer Ball is the name, (sorry, I screwed it up and it shows my email, not username, I'd like to get that changed if anyone can tell me how).
We have a small, but lovely piece of the PNW. I raised Katahdin Hair Sheep, several breeds of turkeys, chickens, rabbits etc.
We employ a pair of...

I'm not sure how often newtochick gets on the forum so I'll answer till she does lol...it is just a nice Serama, the penciling is pretty. And I will have Serama babies for sale at the swap. I had a hatch this weekend, I'm setting more eggs this weekend and I will be setting more once...
Newtochick- what is the Serama in the first pic? She is adorable! That is my favorite! Have you (or has anyone else) got any of those babies for sale around the swap time? I would like to reserve some and I can pay in advance or trade or whatever.
Does anyone have Japanese Bantams?!
Thanks! I will check her out.
Drum roll, please.... and the verdict is: 2 huge white ram lambs! I had no whites, so that's cool (yes, I am predjudiced against white animals, but don't tell my dog, cat, turkeys, etc.). Over 12 lbs and over 11 lbs! Yikes, no wonder she was enormous!
So the...

Ok, who has the Midge White turkey poults????????? Gnarley? I can't remember, someone up in WA is looking for some.....
That's me. I just had 13 babies come out of the forest with momma a couple days ago. I put her in a 12 x 50 foot pen and she took off for the...

Thx Daze! Got any pics of the snow leopard turkey poults? I am so pleased you are happy with them, I (of course) adore them, so you can't get an unbiased opinion from me.
I am sorry to hear about the dying birds! Maybe you can find a little joy in an image of baby lambs?
Thanks for the happy...
No catastrophy here today... yet! I'm sorry for all you whose days went down hill fast (I've had my share so I undestand).
I am still waiting on the last ewe to pop. I was talking to a neighbor yesterday and she asked if I can induce labor?! After reading about the prolapsed and egg-bound hens...

That would have been my reply too, but I was trying to keep it friendly! hehe.
Usually people will let on that they are gonna be trouble down the road, but when they do not you have to take more extreme actions. I sold a pair of sheep to a guy as pets. About a month later he called to...
That's rediculous. She does not have $20 into the bird.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with that! I turn people away sometimes and I never feel bad about it. All I expect is that the new people will adore and pamper the critters like I do! Is THAT too much to ask?!

If you keep that up I might have to bring some meat for you to prepare for us!
These will not be ready for the Autumn swap, but there is always a Spring swap!
